Inert Agents (i.e. Argonite)

contain fire / fixed fire suppression

Argonite Fixed Fire Suppression Systems

Argonite is a fast acting extinguishant

Argonite systems are extremely effective at protecting computer suites and telecommunication facilities

There are no post fire residues or damage to protected equipment

 

Argonite is an excellent fast acting fire extinguishing agent that is environmentally neutral, safe for occupied areas and leaves no residue.

 Datasheet

Typical applications are:

  • machinery
  • control and ventilation spaces
  • communications/computer rooms
  • control rooms
  • flammable liquid hazards


Advantages

  • Electrically non-conductive
  • Blend of naturally occurring gases
  • Zero Ozone Depletion Potential
  • No agent breakdown products since inert gases are not subject to thermal decomposition
  • Similar density to that of air. This means that, should there be a problem of leakage in the compartment, they retain their concentration in the risk area better than Halon


Disadvantages

  • Relatively slow flame extinguishing
  • High pressure storage, requiring solid drawn high pressure storage cylinders
  • Large volume of gas required, which has implications for space and weight
